The shadow of a man standing on the back of a three-wheel pickup truck and smashing with a club the head of another man without the police even pretending to chase the killers was to haunt Greeks for many years. With hindsight, it seemed uncannily like a foretaste of what awaited Greece when the Junta stepped in on April 1967, and put a brutal end to all its democratic illusions. Using written and oral evidence, this book weaves a narrative of the life and death of Grigorios Lambrakis: athletic champion, doctor, politician and Greece’s most committed defender of democracy and peace of the post-Civil War period. It surveys the destiny of a people at key historical junctures, probes their abiding political divisions, the obstacles in asserting peace in the shadow of Civil and Cold War, and traces the origins of the deep state and paramilitarism. It shows how, as the all-consuming fear of Communism intensified, these phenomena were able to entrench themselves, gain ever more autonomy, and eventually preside over the murder of a member of parliament. In addition, the book places under the microscope what Mikis Theodorakis once called ‘the Middle Ages of Karamanlis’, namely a regime whose baleful contradictions became fertile ground for total anomie: a situation devastatingly laid bare to the world by this murder and the investigation that followed.

Στα πρώτα χρόνια της δικτατορίας των συνταγματαρχών, ανάμεσα στους πολλούς αντιφρονούντες που διώκονται, συλλαμβάνεται και εξορίζεται στην Αμοργό και ο κεντροαριστερός υπουργός στην κυβέρνηση Γεωργίου Παπανδρέου, Γιώργος Μυλωνάς. Ο νεαρός σύζυγος της κόρης του Ελένης, Ηλίας Κουλουκουντής, Έλληνας της διασποράς και γόνος της γνωστής εφοπλιστικής οικογένειας, αναλαμβάνει την πρωτοβουλία της διάσωσης του Μυλωνά, υπερβαίνοντας τόσο τη συντηρητική του καταγωγή όσο και τις υπέρμετρες δυσκολίες ενός τέτοιου εγχειρήματος: έρχεται σε επαφή με αυτοεξόριστους πολιτικούς και αντιστασιακά δίκτυα του εξωτερικού, οργώνει την Ευρώπη ταξιδεύοντας από τη Γενεύη στην Κύπρο και από το Λονδίνο στην Ιταλία και οργανώνει, με τη βοήθεια μιας ομάδας Ιταλών εθελοντών, το ταξίδι που θα οδηγήσει στην απελευθέρωση του Μυλωνά. Η Συνωμοσία της Αμοργού περιγράφει αυτό το δύσκολο και πολύπλοκο ταξίδι, αποτυπώνοντας το ζοφερό κλίμα της εποχής, σκιαγραφώντας με ιδιαίτερη οξυδέρκεια Έλληνες πολιτικούς και αντιφρονούντες της εποχής (Ανδρέας Παπανδρέου, Κωνσταντίνος Μητσοτάκης, Βάσος Λυσσαρίδης, Πάμπλο κ.ά.) και δίνοντας μιαν ολοζώντανη εικόνα της αντιστασιακής δράσης των Ελλήνων του εξωτερικού. Πράξη εναντίωσης στη δικτατορία και ταυτόχρονα ταξίδι υπαρξιακό, η περιπέτεια του Ηλία Κουλουκουντή αποτυπώνει την, συχνά οδυνηρή, πορεία ενός νεαρού ιδεολόγου προς την ωριμότητα και την αυτογνωσία. «Σύνθετες ανθρώπινες σχέσεις, υπέροχα τοπία και μια συναρπαστική αληθινή περιπέτεια...το αγαπημένο μου είδος διαβάσματος, ένα εξαιρετικά καλογραμμένο βιβλίο που μας διδάσκει και μας ψυχαγωγεί την ίδια στιγμή.»Νταν Μπράουν, συγγραφέας του Κώδικα Ντα Βίντσι «Ο Ηλίας Κουλουκουντής συλλαμβάνει με μαεστρία έναν πλούσιο και πολύπλοκο κόσμο, μια επικίνδυνη και καίρια εποχή. Βάζει τον αναγνώστη του στα άδυτα μιας οικογένειας των Ελλήνων εφοπλιστών, της ελληνικής πολιτικής της εποχής, στην συναρπαστική περιπέτεια της απελευθέρωσης του επιφανούς πολιτικού κρατούμενου...» Αριάννα Χάφφιγκτον

I Per J Anderssons nya bok Drömmen om en ö tar han med oss på en äventyrlig resa bland tio öar runt jorden som har en alldeles särskild plats i hans hjärta. Från svenska Gotland går färden till tyska Usedom, spanska El Hierro, grekiska Amorgos, indonesiska Bali, önationen Sri Lanka, Denis Island i Seychellerna, Muravandhoo i maldiviska Raa-atollen samt Norra Sentinel i indiska Andamanerna. Per J Andersson förmedlar sin längtan till de jordiska paradisöarna ett liv fritt från fastlandets tempo och komplexitet. Som läsare följer vi även hans dröm om att besöka tio svenska småöar, samt hur det är att vara nesofil, en öfantast som drabbas av en berusning enbart av vetskapen om att befinna sig i en liten värld omgiven av ett stort hav.

Illustrated with prints from a unique archive of glass and celluloid negatives from the Aegean island of Anafi, this book deals with the life of people who were sent into internal exile under the Metaxas dictatorship (1936-1942). Like others before and after, this regime used imprisonment, internal deportation and exile as a means of containing and isolating a wide variety of people who were thought to be 'public dangers'. Drawing on published and unpublished memoirs and on firsthand accounts of former exiles, it gives a vivid picture of a by no means unified collection of people, facing a common set of problems on an island at the borders of the Greek State. During the Occupation, the Anafi exiles faced privation, hunger and finally the dissolution of the commune. This is a human drama which will interest a wide range of readers.

Spanning from WWII to the Cold War and beyond, this is the “magnificent . . . triumphant” biography of the investigative journalist, resistance fighter, and whistle blower who helped expose the Watergate scandal (Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Leadership) He was one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century political history. Yet today, Elias Demetracopoulos is strangely overlooked—even though his life reads like an epic adventure story . . . As a precocious twelve-year-old in occupied Athens, he engaged in heroic resistance efforts against the Nazis, for which he was imprisoned and tortured. After his life was miraculously spared, he became an investigative journalist, covering Greece’s tumultuous politics and America’s increasing influence in the region. A clever and scoop-hungry reporter, Elias soon gained access to powerful figures in both governments—and attracted many enemies. When the Greek military dictatorship took power in 1967, he narrowly escaped to Washington DC, where he would lead the fight to restore democracy in his homeland—while running afoul of the American government, too. Now, after a decade of research and original reporting, James H. Barron uncovers the story of a man whose tireless pursuit of uncomfortable truths would put him at odds with not only his own government, but that of the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations, making him a target of CIA, FBI, and State Department surveillance and harassment—and Greek kidnapping and assassination plots American authorities may have purposefully overlooked. A stunning feat of biographic storytelling, sweeping from World War II to the Cold War, Watergate and beyond, The Greek Connection is about a lifetime of standing up for democracy and a free press against powerful special interests. It has much to teach us about our own era’s abuses of power, dark money, journalist intimidation, and foreign interference in elections.
